How Mehajers and Ibrahims are linked

THE relationship between two of Australia's most notorious families seems to have become even stronger with a second union among the Ibrahim/Mehajer clans.

Perhaps it was just a matter of time before the glitz and glamour of the Mehajers bonded with one of Australia's most high profile underworld families - whose antics have already been immortalised in the TV series Underbelly: The Golden Mile.

Salim's sister Fatima married Jamal Elkheir in 2013 and the couple have since been embroiled in an electoral fraud matter with her brother Salim.

Fatima stood for the 2012 Auburn Council election which saw Salim elected.

She is now facing a possible prison sentence after pleading guilty to 77 charges of providing false and misleading information on Australian Electoral Commission enrolments.

Fatima, who has a baby daughter, allegedly sent text messages to Salim about their plan to submit false enrolment forms to improve their chances of winning a seat.

Both siblings stood for election as the lead candidate of two separate groups. But some of the other candidates listed, including Fatima's husband Jamal, were not eligible for election in the area, as they did not live in the area.

The AEC believes about 76 false enrolment applications were submitted and 51 were forged.

Salim has pleaded not guilty to more than 100 charges of forging AEC enrolments and fabricating a number of addresses.

Fatima will be back before the courts on February 22.

KAT SAKALAKI: Married to Ibraham Sakalaki

Salim's little sister, Khadijeh, otherwise known as Kat, has embraced a glamorous image since graduating from a bachelor of criminology.

Mariam, known as Mary, created controversy when she was crowned Miss Lebanon Australia 2016.

Another contestant complained to NSW Fair Trading, questioning how Mary could fairly enter when her brother's business, Mehajer Bros, was a major sponsor. She was also allowed to enter just weeks before the event but no rules banning a last-minute entry could be found and she has retained her crown.

AIISHA MEHAJER: Married to John Ibrahim's nephew

It was Aiisha's marriage to Hassan Sam Sayour, the son of John Ibrahim's sister Maha, that appears to have cemented the relationship between two of Australia's most notorious families.

Taking place on November 18, 2017, it was preceded by a very Ibrahim-esque flourish - the shooting of John's bodyguard Semi "Tongan Sam" Ngata the night before.

Despite the bloodshed, the ceremony, described as 'low-key' by Mehajer's standards, went ahead as planned in the Merrylands backyard of John Ibrahim's mother.

SANAA TAJJOUR: Married to John Ibrahim's cousin

She was considered one of the low-profile sisters, along with Zena, but Sanaa has announced her presence with a bang after a seemingly whirlwind romance with Mouhamed 'Moudi' Tajjour.

Salim's sister reportedly met Tajjour, a former vice president of the Nomads who previously spent time in prison for manslaughter, at her sister Aiisha's wedding just over a month ago.

The shooting was believed to be the result of a dispute between two groups of young men, with suggestions it could have also been linked to a drive-by shooting in western Sydney earlier the same day.

JOHN IBRAHIM: Kings Cross nightclub owner/uncle to Hassan Sam Sayour

Labelled by the Australian news media as "Teflon John" and "The King of the Cross", John Ibrahim is best known for his ability to avoid being convicted of illegal activities despite widespread public suspicion.

Allegations that Ibrahim is a major organised crime figure have always been floated, although he strongly denies being involved in the drug trade and other crimes.

He is the uncle of Hassan Sam Sayour, the focus of Underbelly: The Golden Mile and recently published his memoirs The Last King Of The X.

SLEIMAN TAJJOUR: Brother of Moudi Tajjour/cousin of John Ibrahim/former Nomads National President

Former Nomads national president Sleiman "Simon" Tajjour is the brother of Moudi Tajjour who served the same four-year sentence for the 2006 manslaughter of Robin Nassour.

He is also cousin of the Ibrahims and was most recently in the headlines after being charged following a high-profile trans-international drug bust involving John Ibrahim's brothers Fadi and Michael, and model girlfriend Sarah Budge.

It is alleged Michael used Sleiman Tajjour to supply MDMA to a business partner known as MW1.

Often described as the most reserved and private of his five high-profile siblings, Fadi was infamously shot in an attempted gangland hit at their luxury Castle Cove mansion eight years ago.

In May 2011, Fadi and his brother Michael, together with hitman Rodney Phillip "Goldy" Atkinson, were ordered to stand trial on a charge of conspiracy to murder an Ibrahim associate who was believed to be behind the near-fatal shooting.

They were acquitted of the conspiracy to murder charge in December 2012 and Michael walked free from his manslaughter sentence in August 2014.

Tongan Sam is the bodyguard of notorious Sydney nightclub identity John Ibrahim and was hired by Sam Ibrahim after he was tired of seeing his younger brother continually suffering broken noses and black eyes early in his Kings Cross career.
